To explore the long-term prognosis of surgical treatment for peri-gastric cardial gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs). In this retrospective cohort study, we analyzed selected data of patients with peri-gastric cardial GISTs who had undergone radical surgery in Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from May 1998 to December 2020. Inclusion criteria comprised radical surgery, pathologically confirmed primary gastric GIST; tumor involving the cardia or within 5 cm of the cardia dentate line; and relatively complete clinical data, including adjuvant therapy and follow-up information.

Here, we are presenting the clinical and genetic analyses of 2 cases with the first somatic SDHA variant identified in PGLs.
